Sasquatch sighting near Skagit County

While hiking alone about 12 miles out on a remote forested trail, the guest smelled a powerful foul odor, heard subtle branch breaks, and noticed total silence. He saw a tall hairy upper body with one arm peeking from behind a large tree, which then withdrew and vanished. About 100 feet farther the figure stepped fully onto the trail, stood looking at him, then turned back into the woods where the guest later found a small purple beaded bracelet placed on a sapling.

Sasquatch sighting near Monroe, Washington

The guest was driving west on Highway 2 toward work on the graveyard shift at about 50 miles per hour with several vehicles behind him. He watched a very tall figure step out of riverside vegetation and cross the highway in about three steps without looking at traffic. It passed behind a tiny roadside chapel where its torso was visible above the roof, then continued through a cornfield toward a distant tree line while nearby drivers pulled over or swerved.

Date unknown Alaska EP 1270

Vocalization in Alaska

While working in the park, the guest hiked to climb a mountain via a narrow valley and detoured to check an old cabin site. He found a large well-trodden trail, a shredded willow break, and a torn-apart rotten stump, which he attributed to snow and bears at the time. On the return in a sunny open spot he heard a loud single-syllable vocal from the woods over the creek and chose to leave for the wide river bar rather than investigate.

in my very early 20s Index, Washington EP 1270

Howl near Index, Washington

In his early twenties the guest bushwhacked to a remote trailless high mountain lake to look for Sasquatch and camped overnight. He woke at night to a high-pitched howling unlike coyote, and in the morning found a large track impression in mud in front of his tent. He felt an urgent need to leave, hurried down hearing branches cracking behind him, and the urgency lifted when he reached sunshine and the creek.

that night after the float Arkansas EP 1258

UFO sighting in Arkansas

That night at camp the witness woke shaking and then became violently ill, vomiting repeatedly for hours while her husband was unaffected. Through the tent she saw a bluish-white light hovering above and moving slightly, in a direction inconsistent with the moon. When the light disappeared the sickness stopped and she could sleep.

Sasquatch sighting in Arkansas

Early in a daytime float the witness saw motion on a bluff and first thought two hikers were heading to a cave. She realized both figures appeared entirely brown, with the larger ushering the smaller into the cave and turning its whole upper body to look toward the river. They disappeared into the cave before her husband could see them.

Vocalization near Talala, Oklahoma

Late at night while photographing on the porch, the witness felt watched then heard a single grunt like a pig and horse combined near trees, later heard again behind her brother's house. Chickens were frightened with one laying prematurely, dogs barked, and her brother came out with a light and firearm. Around the same period a newly nailed chicken-pen roof was ripped back, mulch buckets were moved without spilling, finger-like swipes appeared in a bucket, and she often felt watched near the barn and swing set.

Vocalization near Talala, Oklahoma

About two weeks after the roof sighting, the witness walked the same direction at dusk and heard very loud monkey-like noises from a wooded lot. She first thought it was a movie from a nearby trailer, but windows and doors were closed and the sound came from the trees. The noise stopped as she neared, then resumed after she passed, and she hurried away without looking.

Rock throwing near Kingston, Washington

The witness and his brother were sleeping in a small old cabin when something struck the metal garage door. Both woke, and afterward found small marble-sized rocks on the moss outside the door. The witness later interpreted this as rock-throwing behavior.

Odor near Bellevue, Texas

The witness was on an afternoon deer hunt from a box stand accessed by a power-line right-of-way, after taking a bobcat and shooting at a doe. After dark he walked out and entered a sharply defined wall of strong livestock-like odor that appeared and disappeared within about ten feet. He returned later with a companion who smelled the same odor in the same low spot, with no sound or sight of an animal.

Footsteps near Cape Breton, Nova Scotia

Over multiple nights the witness heard shuffling coming down the hall to his basement bedroom, with the door moving, books sliding off, blankets pulled far away, and scratches appearing on his arm. Once he looked and saw a three-foot grinning gargoyle-like figure that vanished when he swung at it. A marble-like hit to the neck in daylight was part of the same period.

Paranormal encounter near Cape Breton, Nova Scotia

About a week later the witness walked to the barn for his motorcycle with no thought of anything spooky. He saw a semi-transparent white lower half of a person moving erratically by the barn door. He threw his helmet at it and it ran toward him then turned and ran toward the cabin.

Door or window contact near Cape Breton, Nova Scotia

The next day the witness was alone upstairs tidying the cabin where the board had been left. He idly moved the planchette and asked if the board was evil or good, then felt his arm move on its own. Immediately there were two loud bangs on the front door but no one was visible outside.
